Ethical Argument Concepts of Equal Marriage Law

Abstract

This article focuses on the ethical contention against the marriage equality law of gender diversity groups by presenting the rationale from supporting groups and opponents. 1) The supporters believe in the ethical concept of John Stuart Mill's utilitarianism that society must respect individual liberties. The state has no right to intervene in enacting laws prohibiting such actions. Even if society does not like that behavior, the state cannot legislate laws to deter or condone a private matter. Anyone, regardless of their gender, has the right to live in Thailand safely and deserves proper welfare, and 2) Patrick Devlin’s argument from the philosophy of Law believes that one of the roles of legislation is to be a cornerstone in sustaining social security. Benediction doctrine must come along with morality. These people may not offend anyone, but if a society is full of them, it is like a house with decaying frames and columns devoured by termites and weevils. Therefore, not only does society need effectual and functional good laws, but it also needs morals, and 3) the concept of gender diversity equality through the perspective of Buddhist ethics as the basis of the behavior of people in Thai society has another interesting point of view for comparison as criteria too.
